Here I stand out on the edge
Of where I’m meant to be
I’m clinging to that ledge

And I know I’m bleeding through
I’m tearing at the seams
I’m tearing into you

And I see when I look back
At the path I walk
What is it I lack?

‘Cause I’ve done all that I could
Yet here I am again
At the splitting of the wood

Alex Radice - How Lucky We've Been
Lyrics & song meaning in description | Indie Folk Central, discover the best new indie folk: https://ifc.sbmt.to

Song meaning: This song is about the fear of a love not lasting. Finding someone new and falling for them, knowing some day it will end but still holding out hope that maybe this one will last forever.

Lyrics
How lucky we've been
To feel once again

And I know it's a lot to ask
But how long can we make it last?

And my love, if I'm honest with you
I'm not the best that you'll do

But take me for all that I am
And we'll find this moment again

Sierra Carson - is it?
Lyrics & song meaning in description | Indie Folk Central, discover the best new indie folk: https://ifc.sbmt.to

Song meaning: This song is about walking the line between “just friends” and more than. It came from a place of genuine frustration and vulnerability. The situationship culture makes dating so scary and this song just talks about the confusion of it all.

Lyrics
careful when you call me
might give me right idea
hesitant to touch me
so much that you come off scared
what are you avoiding
trying hard not say
what is you’re wanting
with me

whose attention are you seeking
am I wrong to think it’s me, then?
been looking for another reason 
and coming up short
could you tell me is it off to
just pick up the phone and call you
everyone would tell me not to
which makes me want you more 
this is not about the friendship
or is it

texting when we’re drinking
pop the bubble in my chest 
wonder what you’re thinking
I’ll ask you anything but that 

what am I avoiding
trying hard not to say
what is it you’re wanting 
with me

whose attention are you seeking
am I wrong to think it’s me, then?
been looking for another reason 
and coming up short
could you tell me is it off to
just pick up the phone and call you
everyone would tell me not to
which makes me want you more 
this is not about the friendship
or is it

do you feel it too
what am I to you
do you feel it too
who am I to you

When You Come Back Down

When In Rome

Let the Feelings Unfold

"In God's Embrace" is a soul-stirring ballad that envelops listeners in the divine love and constant presence of God. With its serene landscapes and ethereal melodies, this song is a testament to the spiritual connection we all share with the Creator. The lyrics flow beautifully, weaving a tapestry of inspiration and upliftment, while the majestic arrangement—from the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar to the resonant chords of an orchestra—echoes the grandeur of creation itself.

This song is a reminder that we are never alone, always held in the caring arms of a higher power. It encourages listeners to recognize their own divinity, and to extend the love they receive into the world. "In God's Embrace" is more than music; it's a spiritual experience, offering peace, hope, and a sense of belonging to anyone on a journey towards light and love.

In God's Embrace

My lyrical style is eclectic, exploring a wide range of themes and emotions. I have a deep love for melancholic, sad songs and a profound appreciation for poetry and the lives of poets, which often inspire my music. Only recently have I discovered the beauty of expressing these words through music, and I must say, they resonate in ways I never imagined.
